“Despite the size of Bethany, its vast array of alumni connections, in addition to its rigorous yet thought provoking course load, provides any student the opportunity to excel in the field they’ve selected. Specifically, Bethany’s Political Science, History, and Pre-law Departments teach students proper research and writing skills, which prove useful when pursuing higher education or entering the workforce. For me, the opportunity to develop the aforementioned skills has helped me in law school thus far and will continue to benefit me throughout my future career.”

“I graduated with a Sports Management and Business Management double major from Bethany in 2019. Those degrees led me to an opportunity to get my master’s degree in Business Administration. From there, that opportunity led me to various internships with the Washington Wildthings and Pittsburgh Pirates. I am currently interning with Sports Info Solutions as a Scout and working as a Lead Hitting and Infield Development Coach at Diesel Sports Complex and Steel City Select AAU baseball program. My Bethany degree was only the start of my journey and I truly believe I would not be where I am today without the opportunities Bethany gave me.”

“The size of Bethany’s campus allows for more opportunities to pursue teaching assistantships and research opportunities than more prominent universities. In addition, Bethany’s psychology department enables students to pursue research and assists students in developing their empirical studies for presentation and publication. Such opportunities helped me when applying to my Ph.D. program in Healthcare Ethics and will continue to help me pursue my career as a researcher and ethicist.”
